Getting Around Items Needed for License
When you become a resident of Indiana, you have 60 days to obtain an Indiana driver’s license if you hold a valid driver’s license from another state. You must also transfer the titles and registrations of any vehicles you own from your previous state to Indiana.
• If you do not hold a valid driver’s license from another state, you must hold an Indiana learner’s permit for 180 days before you may obtain an Indiana driver’s license. • If you are at least 18 years of age and have held a valid out-of-state driver’s license from the state of your prior residence, you must visit a BMV branch to: • Present ONE of the following three items: • Your current out-of-state driver’s license, • A copy of your official driving record, or • A verification letter.
• You must also present documentation proving your identity, lawful status, Social Security number, and Indiana residency. • And you are required to pass a vision screening. • If your out-of-state license has been expired when transferring to Indiana, you are required to take a knowledge exam. If your out-of-state license has been expired for more than three years or you have held an unrevoked out-of-state driver’s license less than one year, you must also pass a driving skills examination. The BMV will issue an interim license, valid for 30 days, authorizing the holder to drive pending authentication of documents submitted to BMV. • Physical Inspection Form - State Form 39530 • Required for out-of-state vehicles when you are NOT bringing the vehicle to the branch OR when the VIN plate is not easily viewable/accessible. • Proof of Identity • If you have never completed any type of transaction with the Indiana BMV, make sure you review the requirements on the REAL ID website.
You will need the following to title your vehicle: • Completed and Signed Vehicle Title or Notification from the Dealer
• If you are using the notification from the dealer, then the following three documents are not required. • Bill of Sale/Purchase Order • Only required if the title is not filled out completely and these are readily available. • Odometer Disclosure Statement – State Form 43230 • Only required if the odometer statement is not completed on the certificate of title or certificate of origin.
